Springboard is an online learning platform that prepares students for the tech industry’s most in-demand careers with comprehensive, mentor-led online programs in software engineering, data science, UI/UX design, cybersecurity, tech sales, and more. All Springboard courses are 100% online, remote, and self-paced throughout an average of 6-9 months. Springboard acts as a support system, coach, and cheerleader for working professionals who are ready to level-up or make a major career shift. Students have access to a unique community of industry mentors, thought leaders, and alumni, who are on hand to offer insights, networking opportunities, and support throughout the program and well past graduation. Every Springboard student is matched with a personal student advisor and industry mentor who guides them throughout the program through regular video calls.

To apply, applicants fill out an online form, take an aptitude test, then talk with a school representative about their background and motivations. For the data science career track a background in statistics and/or programming is required. For the UX career track, students should have academic or professional background in user design or development-oriented fields.

Before graduation, Springboard’s career services team supports students in their job search, helping prepare them for interviews and networking, and facilitates their transition into the tech industry. Springboard's programs are backed with a job guarantee.

Springboard’s support does not end when students graduate. All graduates benefit from an extensive support network encompassing career services, 1:1 career coaching, networking tips, resume assistance, interview prep, and salary negotiation. Since Springboard was founded in 2013, 94% of eligible graduates secured a job within one year, earning an average salary increase of $26,000.

    Data Science Career Track

    I just finished the bootcamp, and will begin the job search through the program in a few days! It has been a difficult but worthwhile experience. For those with basic knowledge of coding (or none at all), I cannot recommend this program enough. Springboard provides an abundance of support and a well-devised curriculum. It's nerve racking deciding on the right bootcamp for you, but for those who need lots of support throughout the process, this one is for you.

    Springboard was an amazing bootcamp!

    The curriculum was organized and made it easy to stay on track. All of the articles and videos were very helpful in order to understand each piece of designing. I loved that they include working on your resume, LinkedIn, interviewing, and other things to set you up for getting a job. Also, you have a lot of support and other resources to help you throughout your entire experience.

    Springboard is a great choice if you want to break into tech

    Springboard is overall a great boot camp for those wanting to break into tech. Mentors and career coaches are great and the curriculum goes over the core of what you need to know. Some cons are the price and the fact that the website UI needs some work.

    Great experience

    The weekly 1 on 1 meetings with my dedicated mentor and the feedback on my projects as well as industry advise was very valuable. The student community is strong, most everyone is generous with their time and happy to share resources and to network.

    Data Analytics Career Track

    This program (or these types of programs) really is about the support.  Weekly calls, on-demand help, Slack community, career coaching.  The curriculum is well-curated, but is essentially just access to a bunch of 3rd party educational resources like LinkedIn Learning and DataCamp.  All on-demand video learning.  I would've liked to see a weekly live class or some more real-time teaching from the instructors, but I understand that's what you pay for with the $15-20k bootcamps.  If you've...

    Data Analytics Career Track at Springboard

    I never had any experience with programming before, and the Data Analytics Career Track program at Springboard was a great stepping stone to become a future Data Analyst/Data Scientist. I think the program is great for beginners like me, and my mentor was amazing throughout the program. I highly recommend Springboard's program to beginners, especially for its large community, great courses, and mentorship.

    Each topic is explained well, and very structured and the assignments are helpful to practice skills. TAs are really helpful when I have issues. They got back to me fast all the time. I also enjoyed the mentor calls which learned lots of industry things. And my career coach is very patient and gives useful suggestions.

    Springboard delivers


    I started my bootcamp back in June 2021 with minimal tech experience. Exactly 1 year later, I have a job in hand at an exceptional company. I was working a full time job while attending this bootcamp and the 70+ hour work weeks were very tough. My wife and family supported me to complete the task I had set out for.
